Lot #765 - This 1965 Corvette convertible was the recipient of a professional, no-expense-spared, frame-off restoration and updated with modern technology and conveniences. It is powered by a new LS7 7.0-liter V8 crate engine with electronic fuel injection, producing 505hp backed by a new TREMEC 5-speed manual transmission. The engine speaks through ceramic-coated headers and a side-pipe exhaust system. This car is supported by a Street Shop chassis fitted with upgraded C4 Corvette suspension containing all polished or painted components. The original body is finished in black two-stage paint with a red Stinger and has been ceramic-coated for added protection. The hood has the Stinger painted on the inside surface as well. Upgrades include power rack & pinion steering, power disc brakes at all four corners and power windows. The Vintage Air heating and cooling system keeps the car comfortable when the top is up. The interior features red and black leather upholstery and an AM/FM radio with auxiliary input. The car comes with a new soft-top and rides on 17” front and 18” rear Corvette wheels. The original gauges have been upgraded with new electronic gauges. The car was built by well-known NuVintage Corvettes out of Huntsville, AL, and has 281 test miles since completion. It drives and handles like a modern car with classic Corvette style. It won Best in Show at the Shepherd Super Summer Cruise and was featured in the local magazine.
